Allnamics Academy Training Program

Allnamics has been training engineers in pile testing, driveability studies, pile monitoring and other foundation-related topics for decades.

Originally, the trainees of the Allnamics Academy were new users of Allnamics Equipment. However, there is a need for more knowledge exchange among non-testing engineers. They are not performing the tests but need basic knowledge about the testing methods. For structural engineers who want to know about the possibility and reliability of the several testing methods, for governmental organisations who have to control reports from integrity testing, and for clients. Therefore, Allnamics organises many training courses; see the overview below.

Allnamics Academy Training Courses

Integrity Testing

Sonic Integrity Testing (low strain impact testing) for testing engineers (basic and advanced levels, refreshing course)
Understanding Sonic Integrity Test results for others than testing engineers, i.e. structural and geotechnical engineers, controlling institutes, supervisors, second opinions and legal
AllWave-SIT quantitative interpretation method and profiling

Dynamic Load Testing

Dynamic Load Testing and Pile Driving Analysis (high strain dynamic testing) for testing engineers (basic and advanced levels, refreshing course)
Understanding Dynamic Load Test results for others than testing engineers, i.e. structural and geotechnical engineers, controlling institutes, supervisors, second opinions and legal
AllWave-DLT software for Signal Matching

Pile Driving Analyses

Pile Driving Monitoring and Analysis during pile installation utilizing an impact hammer. To control hammer performance, pile stresses, and soil resistance and for troubleshooting, both onshore and offshore (basic and advanced levels, refreshing course)

Vibratory Driving Analyses

Pile Driving Monitoring (VDM) and Analysis (VDA) during pile installation using a vibratory hammer. To control hammer performance, pile stresses, and soil resistance and for troubleshooting, both onshore and offshore (basic and advanced levels, refreshing course)

Static Load Testing

Static Load Testing for testing engineers (basic and advanced levels, refreshing course) for axial tests, both in compression and tension, as well as lateral tests
Understanding Static Load Test results for others than testing engineers, i.e. structural and geotechnical engineers, controlling institutes, supervisors, second opinions and legal

Rapid Load Testing

Rapid Load Testing for testing engineers (basic and advanced levels, refreshing course)
Understanding Rapid Load Test results for others than testing engineers, i.e. structural and geotechnical engineers, controlling institutes, supervisors, second opinions and legal

Driveability Studies

AllWave-PDP Training in performing driveability studies for installing piles by impact hammers, both on- and offshore (basic and advanced level)
AllWave-VDP Training in performing driveability studies for installing piles by impact hammers, both on- and offshore (basic and advanced level)

Vibration Monitoring

Training in theory and the practice of performing vibration monitoring, i.e. vibrations due to building activities like installing piles by impact and vibratory hammers (basic and advanced level)

Certification and exams

A Personal User Certificate will be submitted for those who followed the training course and passed the tests. These certificates show that the person who followed the training and passed the tests has reached the required level in performing their tasks. Both in theory and practical application.

General training

Next to training (potential) users of the Allnamics equipment and software for pile testing and driveability studies, general training is organised for those involved but not performing the tests themselves. This can be managers, clients, supervisors, governmental inspectors, structural or geotechnical engineers who lack the knowledge about the (un)possibilities of several testing methods, giving a second opinion, etc.

Allnamics User training

For the users of Allnamics equipment and software, training courses are organised at three levels:

Starting level. For (nearly) beginners
Advanced level, training at higher levels up to expert levels
Refreshing courses and workshops

Special training

For special occasions, special training and lectures can be organised. i.e. for in-company training, bigger groups, or for educational purposes, universities, etc. Ask the Allnamics Academy team about the possibilities.

The team of lecturers

The team of lecturers has major experience in pile testing as didactic experience in exchanging knowledge seriously and pleasantly. One of our trainers, Peter Middendorp, has over 50 years of experience, as he is the founder of both low strain impact testing, Sonic Integrity Testing, and the Dynamic Load Test (DLT/PDA). See his presentation at the Stress Wave Conference of 2022 here.

The common language for training is either English or Spanish (and Dutch…). Training can also be given on location or online.
